With 6.1 scoreless innings from knuckleballer Steven Wright, the Pawtucket Red Sox took a 5-1 verdict over Rochester Friday night at McCoy Stadium, taking a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five playoff series. Wright scattered six hits and four walks in his stint, throwing 117 pitches, but holding the Red Wings without a run. The Pawtucket bullpen, in the persons of Pedro Beato and Ryan Rowland-Smith, closed the game in style.

The crowd of 4681 saw the PawSox take an early lead, which became 4-0 in the fifth inning when DH Mark Hamilton slammed a two-run home run, as the home team chased Red Wings starter Pat Dean, a Boston College alumnus. Pawtucket has a chance to close out the International League semifinal series tonight at 6:05 p.m., when they send young Matt Barnes, a former first round draft pick just elevated to triple-A last month, to the mound against the Twins farm club's lefty Scott Diamond (4-0 in the regular season).
